Mystics Prayers

When you pray, whether it's at the dinner table, before bed, or in a pew on Sunday morning, where is God? If your gut answer is "out there" or even "I'm not so sure anymore," you're not alone. We have all felt the void and the ache, crying out to God for help and reassurance, but wondering why our prayers go unanswered, or if they are even heard. Because most of us were taught to pray towards a God that was far away and distant. And the job of your prayers was to somehow close the distance. To pray harder. Fast longer. Push through. Press in. To perform ... until God shows up or begins to ...

FAIRACRES PUBLICATIONS 231 How often we use expressions like, ‘thank you for doing that, you’re such an angel’, without really thinking about it, referring to angels as helpful and rather sweet, possibly with a picture in mind of a tall female with big feathery wings. Despite this typecasting, scripture reveals angels as somewhat fearsome messengers from God who must constantly reassure people not to be afraid. The messages they bring are for the benefit of God's people, for salvation and healing. In this exploration of angels, Sister Raphael reflects on her reading of Bible passages ...
